Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Afar Depression is a geological depression, includes Afar Triple Junction, near the Horn of Africa, also a part of the Great Rift Valley, where it overlaps Eritrea, the Afar Region of Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Afar is well known as one of the cradles of hominids, containing the Middle Awash, site of many fossil hominid discoveries such as Ardi; Gona, site of the world's oldest stone tools; and Hadar, site of Lucy, the fossilized specimen of Australopithecus afarensis. The Afar Depression includes the Danakil Desert and the lowest point in Africa, Lake Asal. Only the Awash River flows into the depression, where it ends in a chain of lakes that increase in salinity. Dallol is also part of the Depression, one of the hottest places year-round anywhere on Earth, with a shaded air-temperature record of 64.4 °C. The climate varies from around 25 °C during the rainy season to 48 °C during the dry season
